    I seen some clips of it on youtube, it looks a lot more fun playing with the nintendo remote control than it does with any control pad, just my personal opinion though and the games also look good.

    Re: Wii

    The Wii isnt really a next gen console, unlike the 360 and PS3. It just offers a different way to play the games with the remote like thing. If your after next gen HD gaming then go for a 360 or PS3(if it ever gets out here).

    Also the Wii thats going to be released will eventually get replaced with a version that will play back DVDs.

    Re: Wii

    I was going to get it but not now, ?180 for a suped up gamecube is a little OTT when you can get the XBOX 360 for a tenner more

    Thats the thing 360 for a little more money.

    The wii remote doesn't even work like you think it will,It more just one movment for everything.So nothing to exciting.

    They look nifty and sleek but too childish imo. Doubt I'd get one.

    Then you are a fool... as the ps3 is x2 the price as the 360 and the 360 is better in 90% of the tests... Then you have to think who will win the HD disc Blue ray or HD. HD players are half the price of the Blue ray versions and do the same thing ye you only get 48GB on HD DL and 50GB on blue ray Hidden Content

    half price for the same thing my moneys with HD

    anyway back on topic go for the 360 over the PS3 just look at COD3 you cant tell which ones the 360 and which is PS3

    I dont play games (have a dusty ps2 unused in a year) but the modding of the boxes is far more interesting.Hidden Content

    Re: Wii

    Personally I'm not into the game console scene anymore, but at the weekend i got a chance to play on a Wii and its seriously a whole new kettle of fish, apart from the graphics to me its alot better than both the PS3 and 360 could ever be gameplay wise

    Cool Re: Wii

    The Wii is awsome and worth getting there are plenty of mods out there now for it, i wouldnt say the Wii is just for nintendo fans as its totally different from any other console i own a 360, ps2, Wii, DS and a psp i have also pre ordered my ps3 before i get my ps3 the Wii still comes out on top for game playability and fun.
    Try it out matey

    take a look there

    and to those who say its a sooped up souped-up Gamecube

    Yes is its in the same way a PS3 is a souped-up PS2

    and the 360 is a souped-up Xbox

    With any next gen idea they take the original and improve on it. but the principal is still the same just more improved.... Yes the are more diffidences when comparing the old and new of the brand and the ps3 being the biggest change.. but realy i know sony are pulling out all the stops but and shoveing more tech in a small box but i dont think you can justify the cost!

    With my wii i play games, Listen to my MP3 via the opera borwser and steam films to it to again via the browser and a local network.. and with the relese of the Stable opera browser the Video streaming quality should improve,

    all i would say is if your a core gamer yes the ps3 is the better system but if you have friends or a family the wii can provide a lot of fun....

    Lads night in with alcohol, ladies and some tips from here

    you can have a real laugh oh and strip bowling is more fun that strip poker change the above rules a little .... just make sure you and your mates (male) get good at bowling first Hidden Content

    oh 1 rule is a must you get a strike you can request some one else to remove a item of clothing.

    oh back on track sorry

    for me the Wii was a wise purchase and haven't regretted it now I've just got to let the miss let me chip it Hidden Content
